(Note: this problem was originally described in http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=39466, but since no solution was given there, I will try my luck)


First some stats:

Windows: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger: 6.2.0205
Messenger Plus!: 3.50.0122 (latest beta afaik)

Until now, I was using version 0.7.39 without any problems. It worked fine.

Recently, I've found screenshots lying around that show a different interface than the one I recognized. I figured there must be a newer version, and went to the site (www.stuffplug.com). Downloaded latest version - StuffPlug-NG 2.1.243 - And when installing I get a weird message:



Choosing "yes" (left button), just closes the installer. Choosing "no" begins the installation process, but gets stuck about half-way through, with the file sp.ico. The progress bar just goes crazy, and the installer sticks with the same file, without moving. The only way to close the installer is through Task Manager.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing StuffPlug, with no luck. I've also tried un-installing Plus! completely and re-installing - again, that didn't work.

I hope someone here could help me solve this issue, as I really want to use the newest version. I've heard it has more features and is more stable.

Thanks

I don't think it's allowed to use that beta afaik. But do you have installed other plugins? For example, Screenshot sender 3 with StuffPlug-NG 2.1 crashed. So, disable/uninstall other plugins and then try again. Also install SPNG again without any additional plugins with it!

Im haveing some minor problems with 3.50.123a, so you cannot exclude anything

Err... it's alright, he's a translator.

Yes, as sock said, I am a translator Second, I have no other plugins installed. As I said, I re-installed Plus! and tried again. I have also tried installing SPNG with the main components only, but that also didn't help.

the latest one is only for the latest beta of msn messenger. some features didnt work on the latest beta, so TB had to make some adjustments download the one before that one.

I've tried that, I'm having the same problem on all 2.0.x versions.

Can I bump this thread up a bit? Still haven't got an answer

I think you have to setup your firewall to allow StuffPluf-NG through to install.
I said no when my firewall first alerted me, an the installation got stuck half way through.
I didn't want any of the plug-ins so i thought it would be ok.
After i setup my firewall to allow StuffPlug-NG through it installed fine.

This may not be the problem you have. I hope it helps though.

What you offered just solved my problem. Weird, because on the last time I installed the firewall was also disabled.

Nevermind, though. As long as it worked. I thank you

dammit.
i ve got the exact same problem but i ve got no firewall, im just behind an unconfigurable proxy (http isa server i think)
anyone got an idea ? :'o(
